Prompting Post

[slashmarks]

Prompting will open March 31, 11:59 PM EDT. Until then, comments on this post are turned off. I will post an announcement on the comm when prompting opens. In the meantime, feel free to ask questions in the Discord or on the rules post.

Prompting is now open! It will remain open until April 15 11:59 PM EDT.

This post is for submitting prompts for Fandom Orienteer Challenge! These prompts will provide details for your assignment. Each participant will claim several prompts, or ask to be randomly assigned prompts, in order to sign up. More than one person can claim each prompt, and you can claim your own prompts. You don't have to sign up in order to submit prompts!

Guidelines:

Prompts should be submitted in the following format:

Subject Line: Fandom, Characters/Pairing

Comment Text: Prompt details go here.

You may use "Any" in any field. Prompts can be as detailed or simple as you like, but remember that your prompt will be anonymous and open to anyone to use. Very specific or detailed story outlines may not be the best fit. Because assignments will not be gifts for specific people, you may not include DNWs (Do Not Wants).

Prompts must be submitted anonymously. Prompts submitted by logged in accounts will be deleted. (You may resubmit them anonymously.)

Example 1:

MCU, Natasha Romanoff/Bucky Barnes, Steve Rogers

Pre-Winter Soldier!AU where Natasha and Steve capture Bucky on a mission and find out about Hydra from him, and then they have to decide what to do.

Example 2:

Any Fandom, Any Female Character/Any Female Character

I'd like an explicit, kinky romance centered on any femslash pairing! Kink ideas: bondage, spanking, exhibitionism.

Example 3:

Original Work, Any

Werewolves!

ETA (April 5): I'm currently working on creating a prompt spreadsheet, and will post a link for browsing when prompting is up. Keep up the great prompts!

Comments

Hetalia, Any Characters

[(Anonymous)]

Ensemble cast work set in any historical period.

Original work or Any fandom, Changeling/The human girl she replaced

[(Anonymous)]

They meet when 15+ years old (the human at least, maybe the channeling is much older?) and they look (almost?) exactly like each other.

TGCF, Feng Xin/Mu Qing

[(Anonymous)]

Rivals-with-benefits standing arrangement becomes increasingly obvious proxyfucking about Xie Lian.

+angst
++things starting out rough and ending up unexpectedly tender and then getting rough again to compensate

AEW, Orange Cassidy/The Butcher/The Blade

[(Anonymous)]

Angry at the Butcher having lost to Orange on the 03/29/23 ep of Dynamite, the Butcher and the Blade jump him backstage after that match and take out their frustrations on him in another (noncon) way.

Everything Everywhere All At Once, Joy/Becky

[(Anonymous)]

What is their love story? To what extent was Jobu Tupaki present in Joy when they met? Did they meet and get together in any other universes? What is Alpha Becky up to? How is their future together affected by Joy's shattered consciousness?

Any fandom, any character or ship

[(Anonymous)]

Historical AU

Any fandom, any character or ship

[(Anonymous)]

AU where your fandom is set where you live

All Elite Wrestling, Any Characters, supernatural heel turns

[(Anonymous)]

Kayfabe-compliant AU where heel turns are involuntary -- part of the risk of wrestling, especially in a tag match, is that your friend, lover, tag partner? Might just slam a steel chair into you while your back is turned at any second. The longer tag teams or stables have been together, the more likely they are to turn heel (or face) as one. But if you turn face before your loved ones, you just have to wait and hope they'll come back to you

Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries, Phryne/Jack

[(Anonymous)]

Pacific Rim fusion where the two of them are drift compatible. Crime solving optional.

Transformers: EarthSpark, Nightshade/Tarantulas

[(Anonymous)]

After Tarantulas left, Nightshade fixed his broken holographic projector and hoped that he'd come back for it. But after the events of "Home," Nightshade is no longer willing to wait patiently, and tracks down their friend in time for a rescue... which turns mutual when they get in over their head.

(No preference for what Tarantulas needs rescued from, whether G.H.O.S.T. or a Bot Brawl or being mind-controlled by Mandroid or some mix of those or something else entirely! Just mutual rescue and then maybe H/C and definitely feelings? Go with what's in your heart!)

OW, Man who recently realized he's bisexual/Gay guy who was in love with him in high school

[(Anonymous)]

The newly bisexual guy goes to a gay bar/Pride/other queer event for the first time, and runs into an old schoolmate.

Doctrine of Labyrinths, Mildmay Foxe/Felix Harrowgate

[(Anonymous)]

Mildmay is captured by someone and drugged until he can barely remember his own name, then forced to serve in a brothel as a martyr. Felix goes to the brothel to get him back and sees how bad he's been hurt, and is sorely tempted to fuck him, because Felix is never gonna get another chance like this to have "consensual" sex with Mildmay because as soon as he's back in his right mind he won't consent.

+1 for Gideon being there
+1 for Mildmay trying to hook up with a woman he's actually attracted to after detoxing from the drugs, and having a panic attack in the middle.
+1 for Felix fucking Mildmay and feeling incredibly guilty about it
+1 for Felix stopping himself from fucking Mildmay

Original Work, Closeted US soldier under DADT/Openly gay soldier from allied nation

[(Anonymous)]

What's it like having to hide when your colleagues from other countries don't?

Mean Girls, Janice/Regina

[(Anonymous)]

Regina grew up to be a lawyer, realize and accept that she's a lesbian, and wear a lot of power suits. Janice works for a non-profit that needs legal advice. Regina offers to help pro bono (maybe aware, maybe unaware, that Janice works there). When they meet for the first time in years, a lot of long-forgotten feelings are stirred back up.

Bonus points for Janice being in a band.

OW or Any fandom, Male rock star rumoured to be queer/Male phone sex operator who's bad at his job

[(Anonymous)]

When bored and lonely on tour, the rock star calls a gay sex hotline on a whim, and happens to get The WorstTM sex worker. Can be OW or an AU.

Babylon 5, Any Character(s)

[(Anonymous)]

"For the fans: no cute robots, no kids" (so said JMS, apparently, which explains why B5 doesn't get them)

Add one back! Could be canon (e.g. David Sheridan) or oc (e.g. Delenn gets a roomba)

+ add both back

MCU, Valkyrie/Minn-Erva

[(Anonymous)]

Anything!! But if specific prompts are more helpful:

- Instead of blowing up, Minn-Erva crash lands on Sakaar. Maybe Valkyrie discovers her and takes a shine to her, or maybe Valkyrie unwillingly receives her as a present from the Grandmaster, and now she has to figure out what to do with her.

- Some kind of politics. Political marriage of warriors? Kree/Asgard alliance? Culture clash galore.

- Minn-Erva gets punished by the Kree for her failures on C-53, and Valkyrie rescues her.

Hunter x Hunter, Any

[(Anonymous)]

Letters and emails from characters while they are apart (since they are apart a LOT)!

Does anyone on the [ship in the current arc] catch enough of a break to send back messages (on those drones?) to a friend? Does Hisoka send bizarre messages to people sometimes? Killua's family could have an internal newsletter.

Any fandom, any pairing

[(Anonymous)]

Bodyguard romance

The Locked Tomb, Gideon/Harrow

[(Anonymous)]

Canon divergence AU from the end of GtN where BoE ships arrive right before Gideon does her thing.

Oasis RPF, Liam Gallagher/Noel Gallagher

[(Anonymous)]

Whatever you want! Some ideas:

- One of the times they have sex, it forms a soulbond between them. This is the worst/best/WORST thing that has ever happened to them.

- A reconciliation story, whether now or anytime in the past fourteen years.

Any fandom, any F/F ship

[(Anonymous)]

Getting together while one of them is pregnant with someone else's baby.

Pern, Kylara/Lessa

[(Anonymous)]

Enemies to Lovers to Ride-or-Die Allies (not necessarily in that order).

Hunter x Hunter, Any/Any

[(Anonymous)]

Oh no! 2 characters get their nen messed up! Now they can only use it within X distance of each other! They'd sure better hope they can cooperate enough to at least not die!

Scream, Sidney Prescott/Gale Weathers

[(Anonymous)]

Getting together fic, maybe involving some kind of survival scenario or ghosts or a new serial killer? Or maybe not.
